Join Our Innovative Team at Leidos!

Job Title: Graphics Software Developer

Exciting Opportunity Awaits!

Step into a role that’s far from ordinary and take part in transforming the future of naval simulation, training, and analysis at Leidos' High Fidelity Simulation Business Area. We’re not just building software—we’re setting the standard for the U.S. Navy’s operational capabilities. When you join us, your expertise will directly impact and shape naval advancements.

Why Leidos Stands Out

This isn’t your typical tech job. At Leidos, each project is an opportunity to innovate. As a Graphics Software Developer, you’ll work at the forefront of technology, developing critical training systems like the CIAT - Combined Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Trainer. Here, you’ll craft real-time, three-dimensional graphics systems including a submarine periscope simulation, a submarine bridge simulation, and a ship weapons simulation. This cutting-edge visual simulation is used in a variety of naval training and simulation systems, utilized throughout the US Navy.  All software is developed in a Linux environment, and written in C++ and OpenGL, utilizing the Unreal graphics engine and various software packages.

Make a Real-World Impact

Your contributions won’t go unnoticed or unused. Your creations will be integral to real-world naval operations. Plus, you’ll have the unique chance to travel to strategic locations like Pearl Harbor, San Diego, and Norfolk, where you’ll see firsthand the effect your work has on naval readiness.

Are You the Innovator We’re Looking For?

Do you have an advanced degree or ongoing education in computer science, or a strong background in advanced math or physics? Ideal candidates bring expertise in areas like cluster computing, signal processing, Kubernetes, numerical simulation, multi-threading, GPUs, data visualization, underwater acoustic modeling, or sonar systems.
